A whole string of good news today on the avionics side of things:
- Launch Tower Computer and "LTComm" software is up and running.
- New battery pack is installed, and we fixed the old LPC-based avionics
power system (APS) so it charges the batteries. This is big, because it
means we can sit on charge via the LTC shore power.
- The new STM32 roll control board now controls the roll control module
based on packets from the FC. Congrats to K and Dave, this system
totally rocks. As required, we streamed 1 KHz servo updates and it did fine.
- Rocket Room in 84 lab has been cleaned up and organized. We now have
two rolling "rocket carts" to make field ops WAY easier.
### Sunday Dress Rehearsal
Noon - 5pm at Dave's house. Call Dave or me if you need his address. On
the agenda:
- Set up the whole launch system and attempt to launch the rocket! Well,
we won't actually launch, instead we'll light up a 12 V halogen bulb
which simulates the igniter.
- Bring everything down, and try it again :)
- Go over the launch SOPs and do a quick inventory.
- In parallel, we'll also be hacking on FCF, including logging, the IMU
-> RC, FC state flow, etc.
See you then!
